‘If You Don’t Pay The Right Guys You’ll Be Outta Luck’ | Nick Saban Detests Alleged $20M Roster Bought By Ohio State

The 2024 college football season got underway in earnest this week. One noticeable difference is legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban is no longer stalking the sidelines inside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, aka “Titletown.” B in That doesn’t mean Saban is no longer connected to the game. The seven-time national championship-winning coach (six at Alabama) is now a member of the ESPN “College GameDay” cast.  During his first appearance, Saturday, Saban seemingly broke the internet when he took aim at the Ohio State Buckeyes and how much money they allegedly spent building their roster via NIL. Per reports, the Buckeyes spent upward of $20 million in NIL funds to add some key pieces to their loaded 2024 roster. In Saban’s opinion that means nothing if they don’t win the Big Ten championship and qualify for the College Football Playoff.& "If you don't pay the right guys, you'll be s— out of luck." —Nick Saban
